i had a weird incident of missing time, have never had great recall of my childhood, or my past in general, and often feel extremely anxious when reading threads like this. doesn't mean there's any sort of programming, means i'm conflating vague ideas with this conspiracy theory because i'm biased towards these ideas by even coming to this website.

To me, it sounds like something about those stories are in some way similar to that memory. That doesn't mean you went through exactly what they did, you're right. Pull their stories apart and try to see what specifically is making you nervous. It could be you were in a similar place that they describe. It could be a lot of things... but, I have recovered memories that weren't like what they were describing in a similar way. They are kind of boring, but they don't bother me any more.
